Escape From Davao The Forgotten Story of the
Most Daring Prison Break of the Pacific War

Description
On April 4, 1943, ten American prisoners of war
and two Filipino convicts executed a
daring escape from one of Japan's most notorious
prison camps. The prisoners were survivors of the
infamous Bataan Death March and the Fall of
Corregidor, and the prison from which
they escaped was surrounded by an impenetrable
swamp and reputedly escape-proof. Theirs was the
only successful group escape from a Japanese POW
camp during the Pacific war. Escape from Davao is
the story of one of the most remarkable incidents
in the Second World War and of what happened when
the Americans returned home to tell the world
what they had witnessed. Davao Penal Colony, on
the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, was
a prison plantation where thousands of American
POWs toiled alongside Filipino criminals
and suffered from tropical diseases and
malnutrition, as well as the cruelty of their
captors. The American servicemen were rotting in
a hellhole from which escape was
considered impossible, but ten of them, realizing
that inaction meant certain death, planned to
escape. Their bold plan succeeded with the help
of Filipino allies, both patriots and the
guerrillas who fought the Japanese sent to
recapture them. Their trek to freedom repeatedly
put the Americans in jeopardy, yet they
eventually succeeded in returning home to the
United States to fulfill their self-appointed
mission to tell Americans about Japanese
atrocities and to rally the country to the plight
of their comrades still in captivity. But the
government and the military had a different
timetable for the liberation of the Philippines
and ordered the men to remain silent. Their
testimony, when it finally emerged, galvanized
the nation behind the Pacific war effort and made
the men celebrities. nbspOver the decades this
remarkable
7
story, called the quotgretest story of the war
in the Pacificquotby the War Department in 1944,
has faded away. Because of wartime censorship,
the full story has never been told until now.
John D. Lukacs spent years researching this
heroic event, interviewing survivors, reading
their letters, searching archival documents, and
traveling to the decaying prison camp and its
surroundings. His dramatic, gripping account of
the escape brings this remarkable tale back to
life, where a new generation can admire the
resourcefulness and patriotism of the men who
fought the Pacific war.
